Examining aspects of contemporary queer relationships such as virtual identity, monogamy, bareback sex, and ageism, Philpott’s play strips back, sucks out and spits at the herd-like behaviour of the gay male habitat and the rules that govern the ‘scene’.

Alyson Campbell’s production crushed the rose-tinted television representations of gay life, delving beneath the sparkly surface to confront a more varied and complex range of gay masculinities. Sex, love, commitment, freedom, and the desire for pleasure are all interrogated in Philpott’s fast, funny and moving play.
